In 2010, Nescafe chose Maysoon Azzam to be the new face of its latest campaign aimed at introducing the health benefits of coffee and dispelling common misconceptions about coffee consumption. Nescafe launched the campaign last year after a growing body of independent scientific studies confirmed that coffee in moderation had many health benefits. Cumulative research has proven that coffee is naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage and play a vital role for a healthy body. In this context, Maysoon says, “Since I was nineteen, I have been used to drinking three cups of coffee a day. I start my day by reading a newspaper and having a cup of delicious Nescafe coffee, it motivates me and makes me more active in the morning. After lunch, I have another cup to counteract the afternoon mood of relaxation, and the last cup I drink in the afternoon, to stay energized to take care of my children or to exercise. Besides raising my two kids and my incredibly busy schedule, drinking coffee is one of the few fun moments that I will never let go of. The recent research on coffee gives me an additional reason to enjoy my favorite cup, and I am assured that this habit gives me many health benefits in addition to the great taste.”
